Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

The huge forum “reddit” is closed on Tuesday evening, March 14th. offline. The disorder is worldwide. It started around 8:18 p.m. The reason for the unexpected failure is internal problems. At MeinMMO we look at the situation and what reddit says about the failures.

Help, Tuesday night is in jeopardy. For many users in the gaming and technology cosmos, checking the reddit platform is part of the nightly ritual. But on 14.3. there have been problems since about 8:20 p.m.

If you want to call up the platform, your browser will hang up. It just doesn’t open any page. This is not an individual problem of your PC or smartphone, the app just doesn’t work at the moment.

Even if reddit is responsible for a lot of positive things, the forum also has its downsides:

  • At 8:56 p.m. local time, word broke that reddit had identified the issue and was working on a fix.
  • The problem was apparently a bug in an “internal system.”
